Focus panels will follow in which athletes are given a forum to discuss their foundation or impact experience in front of aspiring impact accelerators and purpose-driven investors. The event will conclude with an opportunity for investors and athletes to join virtual breakrooms for substantive networking and impact-driven dialogue. Entoro has secured the services of a platform designed by Professional Athletes and Microsoft developers which will allow each foundation to offer and track donation opportunities in real-time throughout the event.
